Y'know,

if we'd called the thread a "process"
and the thing that has a pid a "task" (or something)

the actual functional changes would be a HECK of a lot 
clearer in the diffs because I have 50k of functional changes and 
800+KB of 

-	struct proc *pB
+ 	struct thread *td;


(just a comment)

Actually if we left processes as processes and then created
'super-processes', I think you could start now and
still finish first.

(so far I have replaced about 4000 instances of struct proc with struct
thread (mostly by hand))
